426 Phoenix (2/2)

More creatures started shouting, and the residents of Small Distant Town started fleeing. The gamers wanted to give chase, but a system notice appeared before them.

[The Black Volcano is about to erupt. Leave the Black Volcano immediately.]

The notice was repeatedly shown.

The consequence of not leaving was death, with the most fearful thing being the loss of equipment.

The gamers started evacuating while fighting with the residents of Small Distant Town.

The dense running figures filled the side of the Black Volcano.

An Airship was floating in the air above the Black Volcano.

”Portside 45° flying rock—!” a gamer in the crow's nest shouted towards the gamers below as flaming rocks flew towards the left side of the Airship.

Yoda, who was at the helm, changed direction rapidly, and the Airship tilted sharply in a bid to evade the rocks.

The flying rocks brushed past the Airship with whistling sounds.

Numerous gamers were sprawled on the railing of the ship as they gazed at the volcano eruption and the dense fleeing figures of the gamers and the residents of Small Distant Town.

”Continue to increase altitude. We are within range of the flying rocks!” Hemp Rope Technology surveyed the Black Volcano and shouted to Yoda, who activated the elevation rudders.

The Airship continued to climb.

Eggface and Polio were on the Airship, which Sherlock arranged. Their task was to direct the gamers to fire the Magic Cannons. To be more exact, they were to infuse the Magic Cannons with Mana.

One was a Mana-rich Black Dragon, and the other was one of the 72 Devils, Polio. They were able to perform the task with ease. Though they were unable to provide tens of volleys like Sherlock, they were able to supply Mana for two to three volleys.

Polio tightly grasped the railing on the deck of the Airship with his paws. He couldn't fly now. Previously, he could fly without a physical body. But he was currently trapped in a black kitten by Sherlock's special method. If he fell, he would be smashed to bits. He wouldn't die, but his body would be useless. That would be a pathetic state.

Eggface also tightly grasped the railing like Polio. Though he had wings, they weren't very obedient. He sat in front of the computer for long periods of time without training. In addition, the gamers fed his voracious appetite, and he became overweight. His wings weren't able to carry the heavy weight.

Sherlock noticed this problem and used various ways to encourage Eggface to exercise, but Eggface was never one who could be encouraged to exercise.

”Have you found Lord Sherlock, meow?”

Polio's face was distorted by the strong winds, but he squinted his eyes as he gazed at Phoenix and Sherlock, who flew out of the volcano. Both Phoenix and Sherlock vanished in the huge gray cloud emitted by the volcano.

”There! I see the phoenix!”

The gamers in the crow's nest shouted, ”Gosh! We're finished! We're dying! Full rudders—!”

In the thick dust cloud, a fiery red figure flew towards the Airship as he gave a shrill shriek.

Yoda changed direction rapidly, and the Airship looked like it lost control as it swerved sharply. The crimson phoenix was still dashing towards the Airship.

Before the phoenix reached the Airship, it was knocked away by another figure. The phoenix lost his balance and scraped past the Airship as he plummeted.

”Sherlie's awesome!”

”It's too cool!”

”Where's the phoenix? I'm firing the cannon!”

”Where's the Italian Cannon? Get it out!”

”Waaaah—!”

The gamers were shouting.
